[RC] Scratches - k s swigartScratches don't usually spread to the face. ? "Scratches" is a catch all term for "dermatitis on the pastern." ? There are a multitude of causative agents for dermatitis (i.e. skin inflamation), many (but not all) of which are microbial. ? And yes, some of these causative agents (whether microbial or not) can also affect the skin on the face; however, dermatitis on the face is not called scratches.? ? This, incidentally, is why there is not A (as in just one) cure for all cases of scratches.? The right treatment for scratches depends upon the cause of the dermatitis.? And those causes vary all over the map. ? It is my understanding that photosensitivity IS one of the known causes of scratches..and that photosensitivity has been known to cause skin conditions on the face as well...but on the face, it's not called scratches.? It may respond to the same treatment though. ? kat Orange County, Calif. :) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
